    Want to see all that cool looking equipment in action ?

    Nine video's of the mill at work. Lots of reference and modelling info to enjoy.

    **videos removed**

    I'll try to splice them into one longer video later today and re-upload it as one or two files.

    Dont have time right now, enjoy anyway.

    You're welcome Kevin...

    I downloaded the nine videos from youtube, spliced them all together into one movie and then uploaded it back to youtube.

    Brett,
    I'm really impressed with the You Tube videos of the Sturgeons Mill project. That mill looks very much like what you have proposed and thats why I look forward to the kit.

    Great video Karl.A
    This is the type of atmosphere I am trying for in my models.
    Now we can see why so many of the employees were deaf and had missing digits and such

    Does anyone have the Western Scale Models' book "Modeling a Steam Powered Sawmill, A Detailed look at the Hull Oakes, McLean and Sturgeon's Sawmills"? Wonder if this has useful information not available elsewhere.

    Hi Mike: I just became aware of this topic thanks to Karl A. I have the book you mentioned above and it is terrrific, highly recommended. Another sawmill book is Sawmill Modeling by Morgan Griffiths. I have used the information and photos several times during the build of the Sawmill Machinery kits, again highly recommended. I am sorry I don't remember where I purchased the book but it is published by Paradise Publishers located in Corte Madera, CA 94925.
